A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900 by Andrew Roberts

A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since 1900 by Andrew Roberts

In the late 1950's, Winston Churchill published the four-volume A History of the English-Speaking Peoples. An instant classic, it became one of the best-selling nonfiction books of all time, and won Churchill the Nobel Prize for Literature. Historian Andrew Roberts brings Churchill's work into the modern era with A History of the English-Speaking Peoples in the 20th Century.

Churchill believed that the shared language and culture of England, Ireland, the United States, Australia, and the world's other English-speaking nations reveals that what they have in common is much more important than what separates them. Roberts follows up on this thesis by exploring the ways in which the political, social and historical events of the 20th century have sustained this relationship, even in the face of war, communism and terrorism. Andrew Roberts is the author of Napoleon & Wellington, Eminent Churchillians, and Waterloo. His writing appears regularly in The Sunday Telegraph. He lives in London."Admirably researched and enviably well-written ... A brilliant, irresistible book." -- The Weekly Standard
